My 18 year old daughter attempted to commit suicide a couple weeks ago. She was 800 miles away at college when I got the call. I called a family member to go be with her until we could get there.

She is doing ok right now and says it was a stupid thing to do and is looking forward to next semester although she is in counseling and on a med. We moved her out of her dorm to live with a family member for many reasons and I do feel better about that. We are trying to simplify things for her so she doesn't get so stressed.

This has been so stressful and upsetting to find out that she was feeling so bad about things that she thought that was the only thing she could do. She had an appointment with a counselor for the next day. She is thinking more clearly and clearly loving life and so glad to be here so that is all a good sign. I keep thinking about what could have been. We could have lost her and never known what was going on with her.

I've been looking for a place to get my feelings out about this and found this site. Thanks for listening.
